Data
BARR targets the critical year
Nationwide
- 1 in 4 high school students do not graduate
- 20-40% fail 1+ courses due to factors unrelated to learning ability
- 25-45% take 9th grade over
Low graduation rates are driven by students who enter high school poorly prepared for success and who have trouble transitioning to 9th grade
9th grade students who pass their classes are 3.5x more likely to graduate on time
